Excalibur laughs

After coming out of Ah Yue's boudoir, Yunyun slowly circled around the pavilion that Li Jing mentioned.

The gazebo was built in the middle of the pond, and there were some stone piers built in the pond leading to the gazebo in the east and west directions.

The water in the pool looks sparkling under the moonlight, and the breeze blows from time to time, causing ripples.

Yun Yun exhaled slowly, forced himself to calm down, looked at his legs, and then at the stone pier, which was not wide but not narrow, thinking that he should be able to cross it.

So, he swayed slowly, and found that the distance between the stone piers was not as wide as he imagined, so he stepped over carefully step by step, and arrived in the middle of the pavilion in a short while.

There were several stone benches and a stone table in the middle of the pavilion. He found a stone bench and sat down, lying on the table boredly waiting for Meng Zhang to come over.

After the cup of tea, he heard footsteps, and looked towards the sound of footsteps.

I saw that Meng Zhang was walking leisurely and had already reached the middle of the stone pier.

When Meng Zhang saw Yun Yun, he quickened his pace and arrived in front of Yun Yun.

Yun Yun quickly stood up, and before he could speak, Meng Zhang said, "You don't need to be so polite."

As he spoke, he found a seat and sat down on his own.

Yun Yun was so happy, so he stopped being polite to him and sat down slowly.

Meng Zhang tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and said with a smile, "Wait a minute, I heard from Madam that Daoist Daochen came here, and the servants cooked all vegetarian dishes. I'm afraid it didn't suit Yunwei's taste, so I asked someone to prepare it." We had some food and wine, and we drank and chatted."

Yunyun smiled sheepishly and rubbed his head.

Meng Zhang glanced at him and said, "If you don't like wearing this mask, you can take it off. You don't have to wear it in the general's residence."

Upon hearing the words, Yun Yun took off the mask and put it aside.

After a while, the rickety old man came up on a wooden tray with several dishes and a jug of wine on it.

After the old man put the food and wine on the table, he stood aside respectfully, and Meng Zhang said softly, "Uncle Liu, go down first, I'll call you if there is anything to do."

Hearing this, the old man bowed and left.

After Uncle Liu left, Meng Zhang poured wine for me with a jug, and asked with a smile, "How does Guard Yun drink?"

In fact, Yun Yun had never drank alcohol. Yun Cheng disciplined him severely, saying that drinking was a mistake, and he never let him drink a drop.

But in order not to reveal his secrets, he bite the bullet and replied: "I can't remember what happened before, it seems that I drank some."

Meng Zhang smiled boldly, and without being courteous to Yun Yun, he directly picked up a glass of wine and drank it down in one gulp.

After he finished drinking, he filled another glass for himself, glanced at Yun, then at the wine in front of Yun, and said, "Guard Yun, wine is a good thing, try it!"

It was not easy for Yun to refuse, so he imitated his example, picked up a glass of wine and poured it all into his mouth, and immediately felt a burning sensation in his throat, all the way to his internal organs.

This feeling was very uncomfortable. He was so choked that he coughed non-stop, and even tears were almost choked out.

Meng Zhang suddenly burst out laughing, he stopped laughing for a long time, and said, "It seems that this is your first time drinking alcohol."

After a pause, he filled Yun Yun's glass again.

"Wine, drink slowly."

Yun Yun's mouth was full of wine, and he could only feel his cheeks burning and his head dizzy.

Seeing Meng Zhang filling another glass of wine for him, he was terrified and embarrassed not to drink it.

He slowly stretched out his hand, planning to go all out and drink the glass of wine.

But Meng Zhang stretched out his hand ahead of time, brought the wine in front of him, and drank it in one gulp.

Seeing Yunyun's puzzled face, Meng Zhang said, "Drinking is harmful to your health. You are still young, so it's better to drink less. Besides, you and Ah Yue are in the same room, so I dare not let you drink too much."

After Meng Zhang drank the second glass of wine, he slowly put down the glass, his brows were full of melancholy, he sighed heavily, and said with a wry smile, "I don't remember the last time I drank like this."

Yunyun was curious, thinking that Meng Yao was very strict with her, and asked, "Is it because His Majesty forbids the city lord to drink alcohol?"

He shook his head and said: "My sister persuaded me to drink less, she didn't forbid me to drink, it's just that I can't find someone to drink with, drinking alone is boring."

Meng Zhang glanced at Yun Yun and asked, "Are you curious, you are a general, why don't you even have anyone to drink with?"

Cloud nodded honestly.

Meng Zhang smiled lightly and said: "There are too many villains in the palace with ulterior motives. I must always stay awake and beware of them. The human race has been peaceful for more than ten years. Those high-ranking officials and nobles have become accustomed to being at ease, and have long forgotten that their good day is today My sister worked hard. Now that there is no foreign trouble, they naturally don't want anyone to oppress them. They will not let the Meng family make a mistake. After more than ten years, I can feel more and more that the Meng family is in In a huge conspiracy, they are waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity that can completely destroy the Meng family."

After Yun Yun finished listening, he was secretly worried for the Meng family, and asked, "Then, don't your majesty and you have any countermeasures?"

Meng Zhang sneered and said, "Of course there is. It's not that simple to deal with my Meng family. If it were my previous temper, I would have slaughtered this group of wine bags and rice bags a long time ago."

There was a sharp and fierce look in his eyes, but he softened immediately.

"But ever since I had Ah Yue, I have had to worry a lot. Seeing that there are fewer and fewer people I can trust around me, even though I am not afraid of anything, I start to worry. I will die when I die, but when I think of my sister , Madam, and Ah Yue’s fate, I feel afraid. Especially Ah Yue, she is still so young, she shouldn’t have to bear so much, if it is not because of her illness, I have already sent her to a safe place.”

Seeing the tears seeping from the corners of his eyes, Yun Yun felt desolate in his heart.

The struggle for power in the palace was much crueler than he had imagined, so he asked, "Doesn't the city lord even trust his wife?"

Meng Zhang was startled when he heard the words, then picked up a glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, and said, "I grew up with her, childhood sweetheart, childhood sweetheart, married for ten years, if you can't even trust her, how can you still trust her? It's just that she is a girl and a mother after all, and many things are messy when she cares about them. I am afraid that she will accidentally say something, so I don't tell her many things, and she doesn't ask. Besides, Ah Yue has a strange illness. , She is already very tired from taking care of Ah Yue, these are important matters of life and death, telling her will only make her worry and uneasy."

When Yun Yun thought about it, he felt that it was really reasonable, and he had a little more affection for Meng Zhang.

Regardless of Meng Zhang's obstruction, he forcibly poured himself a glass of wine and said, "City Lord, I respect you!"

After speaking, he drank the wine glass in one gulp.

Meng Zhang seemed a little surprised. He looked at Yun Yun with complicated eyes, and he laughed after a long time: "Hahaha! Happy! Happy! I thought you were an elm-headed kid before, and I deliberately teased you several times. I found that you are a good material, if you were born a few years earlier, I would sworn brothers with you, hahaha!"

Yunyun was speechless after hearing this, but he was also very happy.

Meng Zhang is a true temperamental person, daring to love and hate. Under the seemingly indifferent appearance, he actually has a fiery heart, especially the sincerity he treats his family, which makes Yun admire him from the bottom of his heart.

The pot of wine was quickly finished, Meng Zhang slammed his mouth unsatisfied, then looked at the cloud, and said: "After tonight, you will be a member of the Meng family, and you will have a share in the life and death of the Meng family!"

Yun Yun asked, "Why would the city lord trust an outsider whom he has just met for a few days?"

Meng Zhang shook his head and said, "I don't know, but Ayue is my life and my sister's. Since we have entrusted Ayue's life to you, we should trust you, and I I believe that my sister will not misunderstand the person, well, you go back to rest first! Ah Yue is so naughty, you should let her more."

Seeing that it was getting late, Yun Yun hurriedly bid farewell to Meng Zhang and returned to Ah Yue's room.

As soon as she walked into the room, she discovered that there was a stretchable colorful carved screen in front of Ah Yue's bed.

The screen seems to be made of mahogany, with many small patterns carefully carved around it, and a dragon embroidered with a silk scarf in the middle, which is the same as the dragon on Meng Yao in the previous painting. I guessed in my heart that this should be The dragon spirit of the human dragon.

In front of the screen, where the table and chairs were originally placed, now there is a small bed about three feet wide, with bedding, pillows and so on placed on it.

Yun Yun thought that Li Jing was still with Ah Yue, so she called "Ma'am" softly.

But Ah Yue's Jiao Didi's voice came from inside.

"Mother just left, and you slept on the bed outside! But I want to make it clear to you, no matter what happens, you are not allowed to come here, or I will sue in front of Dad!"

Yunyun smiled and said, "Don't worry Miss Ayue, don't look at injustice, don't listen to injustice! Yunyun knows these truths!"

Ah Yue gave a soft "hmm", seemed to think of something again, and said: "Also, if you snore at night, I can't sleep because of the noise, or if you wake me up, I will throw you fruit of!"

After finishing speaking, Yun Yun saw a small thing flying over from the other end, so he stretched out his hand to take it, and took a look in his hand, only to find that it was an orange.

Yun Yun thought it was quite amusing, and joked: "Does Miss Ah Yue like oranges?"

Ah Yue giggled and said, "That's not it! The oranges are specially used to throw you. I originally wanted to use unpeeled chestnuts, but my mother said that it hurts to be embarrassing. I was afraid that you would be hurt, so I replaced them with oranges. tangerine."

Yunyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and stayed where he was until Ah Yue said, "I'm going to rest, you can blow the lamp."

Only after Yunyun came back to his senses, he quickly blew out the oil lamp, took off his shoes and socks, and fell asleep hastily.
